Re: It looks like the maintenance man had a fun time with my cologne collection.

By the way folks, I am a bit the new guy on the block here, but let's not give the original poster such a hard time. He shared a slightly annoying to him, somewhat funny to us story, nothing bad to presume about him. My 2c.

Let me ask you a question: At your place of employment, if you got caught wasting time doing something like this would you be fired?

Not in my place of employment at least... i guess we are more liberal here near the North Pole. But i guess you didn't ask me and as i stated before yes, it would be really irritating if you find someone has been meddling your stuff...

Personally I would be flattered and amused.

This would be a great question for some sort of sociological study: whether finding this very wrong is tied to a culture and what kind of interpretations we should make about the results. I would probably expect people from US to be in average more upset than Europeans. Just a hunch.

I'm a European and I would by very upset if any stranger went snooping around with my possessions. Please add this finding to your study. 😉

Since he's inexperienced with Fragrance, his curiosity won out over his edict for no touching...
Given our own obsession/near obsession with fragrances, heck, he's departed on his own learning curve. :-)

Why not make a new friend and help him out on his new path of discovery? :-)

AGREED, I get tired of overly-sensitive people. I wouldn't want anyone fired for that, but I would never let anyone in my house if I wasn't there. I wouldn't want someone sticking their nose on the nozzle of a fragrance that I was going to spray on me.

This thread keeps getting funnier and funnier. I apologize for my earlier comments saying I would have him fired. I wouldnt do that. I had about 4 or 5 drinks with dinner and then read this thread and got a little squirrely about the story. It would drive me nuts though as I am very protective about my personal space. There does seem to be a distinct line drawn in the sand about this issue.

Sounds like a Fumehead in the early stages...

Why don't you make a new friend and help him learn his new obsession...?

It is great to sit back and watch people from all over the world fight about a plumber touching perfumes.
